For the Macro Mondays theme: inheritance
I inherited the love for nature with all her beauties from my parents. We used to walk a lot in my childhood in the countryside and every time we discovered a new flower or a little animal. Even a few drops of rain wouldn't stop us. It were good times and I'm still enjoying the little things ;-)
This 400 Aniversary Clock was a gift from my grandfather to my mom when she moved to a new house in 1958. Now I have it in a special place at home.

This is a little Avon stickpin, found in the jewelry box that I inherited from my mom nearly 30 years ago. She collected frogs. This delightful little frog is three dimensional, about the size of a dime and whenever I look at it, it makes me smile and think of her :) Happy Macro Monday!!
something a bit different..:)
Wish you all beautiful, productive and calming weekend, have a great time*
Where there is light, there is hope for the children of tomorrow.

For Macro Monday's topic of the week : Inheritance. HMM !
During the first world war, my grand-mother left her house in a village near Arras, in the north of France with her children. My grand-father was on the battle fields and she went on the roads towards the south to find a safer place, along with hundreds of people. When it was time to come back, they found a family of Belgian people settled in their house. The lady, before leaving, gave my grand-mother her camay earrings as a thank you gift.
Apparently there was only one earring left when my mother inherited it and she had it transformed into a ring that she offered me when I was a teenager. I've worn it ever since. The girl on the camay has lost her nose but I don't mind.
(Picture and story different earnings though)
Few years ago my moms friend moved back to our hometown. I call her auntie. Soon after auntie moved back she found out that her middle school teacher (who then was in her eighties) lived two blocks down the street.
The teacher had never been married and did not have children of her own. She lived alone by herself and had a hired helpers who came during different hours of the day to do the household chores.
Auntie then decided that she would visit her teacher every Sunday rain or shine and spend the day with her. This became their thing and went on for a few years. Three years ago I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet lady in her home. She offered me sweets and snacks and was so happy to have a new visitor. Her eyes sparkled with joy.
The same year one Sunday when auntie was visiting her, the teacher complained of a slight chest pain. The ambulance was called and she was rushed into the emergency room. On the way to the emergency room, the teacher held my auntie's hand and said thank for being there for me. She then took off the diamond earrings that she was wearing handed it over to my auntie and said this is a little token of my appreciation for everything that you have done for me over the years dear, I want you to have it. Later that day she died of an heart attack.
I cant get over the fact that in the midst of the pain and chaos the teacher took the time to thank auntie for her kindness and how much she cherished those Sunday visits.
This is the sweetest story I have ever heard of inheritance.
I have my father-in-law tools and the box he made to keep them in when he started out in work many moons ago
Our genetic and environmental inheritance are inextricably intertwined. While we're not a tabula rasa as Locke suggested over three centuries ago, (with perhaps some exceptions) we are definitely not bound to a fate that is simply determined by our genes.
This picture is a single long exposure macro taken with a manual Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 (at f/16) and a 49mm extension tube with a Canon 5D mark III camera. It's a tangled roll of negatives of relatives in Germany, taken in 1988 with an old Olympus PEN, a half frame camera (not by me). Magnification is then about 2x, as one half frame will roughly fill my full sensor camera.
The roll of negatives was on top of some white paper sheets over a glass table illuminated from the bottom with a small table lamp below.
I have them as part of a larger project scanning dozens of old rolls that I found at my parent's house.
Taken and uploaded for the Macro Mondays theme inheritance.

These are my great grandfather´s scissors. I inherited them after my grandmother´s death. Until now they have been in use for more than 100 years. Maybe they are even older. They remind me on my childhood when we visited my grandparents.

My grandmother used to do a lot of needlework. I think it was a main subject at girls' school. Her (brass?) thimble is placed on the detail of an old pillowcase done by her.
As a child I used to be less appreciative of this art and found these pillowcases very scratchy.
This is not an inheritance as such, but it comes close enough. This is the inside page of my old Bible, which my mum gave (well, I begged her for it and few promises later I received it) me in my teens. The inscription is my dad's. He bought it for my mum and noted the date on it...this is was long before I was born.
HMM!
My uncle passed away when I was a little boy. When I was a teenager I was helping my grandparents move and found my uncle's old guitar from the early 70's. Even though it is unplayable I have kept it safe for 25 years and it has been the one constant thing through all those years.
I'm not sure if it's macro enough, but I set the camera on the strings, so...
As a child, whenever I visited my grandmother, the first thing I did was to play this old music box.
I'm still fascinated by the sound it makes when turning the handle.
I inherited this ring from my mother, and she inherited it from her aunt. The meaning of the symbols is "Love, Fidelity, Death", but unfortunatly I don't know if the ring has a story.
For those found in Christ Jesus there is an immeasurable inheritance that awaits us. We will be with Him in all of His glory; in perfect communion and fellowship without the corruptiveness of sin. We will dine at the wedding feast as we cherish eternal life that will surpass our best moments here on Earth. It will be beyond our wildest dream. God is the very essence of all things good and His presence will fill all of Heaven and His goodness will be evident to all. O how my soul longs for that great and glorious day!

Happy Macro Monday!!
After my Dad passed away 7 years ago I inherited a wallet of family documents, mainly birth marriage and death certificates. The photo shows my grandparents' marriage certificate dated 30 Jan 1915. I've compiled our family tree and hopefully one day I will pass it on to my son to carry it on.

Inheritance - (Macro Mondays)
This is a macro detail of my Leica IIIc camera which I inherited from my father. He taught me how to use this when I was very young. As a result, I also inherited my love of photography,
This necklace has been through four generations starting with my great-grandmother in Leeds, Yorkshire U.K. The necklace has a lovely Victorian case. It now resides with me in California, U.S. It is longer than this unfortunately it has broken. I hope to get it fixed soon.
Macro Monday-Inheritance- Depression Glass from my Grandma.
Depression glass is clear or colored translucent glassware that was given free, or at low cost, in the U.S. and Canada around the time of the Great Depression (1920-1939).
The Quaker Oat Company and other food manufacturers put a piece of glass in their products as an incentive to purchase. (Wikipedia)
These dishes would have been My Grandmas' 'best' dishes. I cherish them because of the time it must have taken her to collect it. We always refer to them as 'Grandmas' Dishes'.
The glass came in various patterns, also. This pattern is called, MADRID, in amber.
